Who writes this stuff?

I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

Oh you can't get to heaven...

Does anyone remember that song from childhood and churchcamp?
"Oh you can't get to heaven, (oh you can't get to heaven)
 On roller skates (on roller skates)
 Oh you can't get to heaven, (oh you can't get to heaven)
 On roller skates
 No you can't get to heaven on roller skates, you'll roll right past those pearly gates!
 All my sins are washed away, I've been redeemed.

 There are many other verses, which can easily be added to. "Can't get to heaven in Kevin's car, cause Kevin's car won't go that far", or "on a pogo stick, cause a pogo stick just ain't that quick"... it goes on and on in silliness, but with the message that only Christ's blood can offer salvation.

Canaan and Zion recently learned the song from Bob and Larry, and the rest of the Veggie Tales crew while being carted back and forth to the grocery, the library, karate practice, etc. We have headphones in the back of the Tahoe, so I can listen to something different while they jam to the Veggies in the back.
 When we were home one evening Z was making up verses on his own, just to be silly. Can't get to heaven in a piece of toast, potato chip... random things. He is only four, and doesn't even try to rhyme. He just throws things out there. But Canaan, he takes things so seriously. Zion suggested a basket, laughing as usual, but Canaan thought that might actually work. "If you stayed in that basket too long you would suffocate and die, and then you would go to heaven."

 What am I going to do with that boy?
